The Group classifies its financial assets into the following categories: assets at fair value through other comprehensive income; p assets at fair value through profit or loss; and p assets at amortised cost. p Classification depends on the purposes for which financial assets were acquired. According to its management model, the Group’s management determines the appropriate classification of its financial assets upon their initial recognition, and performs a reassessment at each interim and annual reporting date. The financial assets recognised by the Group consist of the items described below: Assets at fair value through other comprehensive a. income This category includes investments in equity instruments that the Group has chosen to irrevocably place in this category. Changes in the fair value of these assets are recognised directly in equity and are not reclassifiable to profit or loss. These assets are not impaired.

They comprise the financial assets arising when the Group transfers funds, or provides goods and services, to an individual or entity.

The Group distinguishes between: long-term loans and receivables classified as non-current p financial assets; short-term trade receivables and other equivalent receivables. p Short-term trade receivables continue to be measured at the nominal amount originally invoiced, which usually equates to These are non-derivative financial assets which the Group has chosen not to measure through other comprehensive income.

The Group assesses the credit risk associated with loans and receivables when they are issued. They may be subsequently impaired if the Group expects that their estimated recoverable amount is less than their net carrying amount. For trade receivables, these write-downs are charged to profit or loss as part of Operating profit on business activity and reversed in the event of an improvement in the recoverable amount. For loans and deposits, they are recorded within Other financial income and expenses. the fair value of the consideration to be received. Assets at fair value through profit or loss c.
